Inserting Steps and Pauses in an Active Sequence

Inserting a Step into an Active Sequence

The current time determines whether a step is inserted. If the timeline is at the end of the last step of a sequence, a step is added as a new action is created. If the timeline is at any other point within the sequence duration a new action is assigned to an existing step.

Inserting a Pause into an Active Sequence

The point at which a pause is inserted is determined by the current time setting. If the timeline is at the beginning of a step, the pause is inserted in front of this step. If the current time setting is at the end of one step and the beginning of another, the pause is inserted between the two steps. If the timeline is at the end of the last step of a sequence, the pause is appended there.

In order to be able to insert steps and pauses there must be a sufficiently long section of the timeline that is unoccupied. You will be warned if there is not enough unoccupied space. The action or pause will not be implemented.
